Make the most of your airing cupboard with these 5 clever storage ideas, from made-to-measure slatted shelves to smart vertical solutions. Perfect for small or awkward spaces.
5 Clever Airing Cupboard Storage Ideas
Airing cupboards are one of the most underused spaces in the home but with the right layout, they can become seriously practical. Whether you’re storing towels, bedding, or household essentials, here are five simple ways to get more from the space.
1. Choose Made-to-Measure Shelving
Adjustable shelving rarely fits well, which leads to wasted space, poor airflow, or it just pings off the wall. Our made-to-measure slatted shelves are designed to fit your exact measurements, making the most of every inch.
They’re strong, easy to install, and allow proper ventilation, ideal for keeping linen fresh and tidy.
2. Add Baskets or Boxes
Once you’ve got strong, fitted shelving in place, use baskets or boxes to group items together. Towels, bedsheets, and smaller accessories are easier to find (and keep neat) when they’re divided into simple zones.
3. Maximise Vertical Space
If your cupboard has height to spare, consider adding an extra shelf for seasonal storage. Keep your extra thick winter blankets up-high and out of the way.
4. Incorporate a Rail or Hooks
Make use of any unused vertical space by adding a tension rail or wall-mounted hooks. These can be used to hang delicates, laundry bags, or cloth storage, helping you store more without overcrowding your shelves.
5. Adapt It to Your Lifestyle
Once your shelving is secure and well-designed, the space can be easily tailored to suit your needs. Whether you use it as a linen cupboard, a utility zone, or a place to store household extras, good shelving gives you the flexibility to make it your own.
